Author Topic: Widows (2018) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 12-05-2018 02:26 PM                        CINEMA: Cinemark Movies 12, Ames, IA AUDITORIUM: 10 PRESENTATION: Cinemark Recline-o-Vision with butt warmers in a slope auditorium with Mystery Meat Digital PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Sound leakage from Auditorium 9 RATING: Three stars (out of four) I've been coming here since this place opened 20 years ago, and this is my first movie in Auditorium 10. Which means I've now seen movies in every auditorium in the building. Yay. THE PLOT: A heist goes awry. Wackiness ensues. This is the darkest Ocean's 11 sequel ever. It's not really, of course. It has nothing to do with that franchise, but it uses that template. It's far better written and far less fun than any of those movies. Most characters are desperate, nasty and relentless. This is a tale of survival of the fittest more than anything, and it's really well done. Where it weakens is the ending. Without spoiling that, I don't see how the direction they go could be plausible.  |  IP: Logged
